DENVER - Here's Colorado's November nightmare.
States around the country vote the same way they did in the 2004 presidential election, with two plausible exceptions: Iowa and New Mexico switch their votes to Democrat Barack Obama.
In Colorado, meanwhile, voters are waiting in line long into the night, and county clerks are feverishly trying to count a record number of ballots so the world can know who the next president will be. It's 3 a.m., and Katie Couric and Brian Williams are still on the air, twiddling their thumbs and saying, "We're still waiting on Colorado."
Thanks to the Democratic National Convention, this state has already seen the international spotlight once this year. And once is enough for Gov. Bill Ritter.
